This setup manual is meant to build the hardware for the CHARISMA setup, which contains the SPOT robot, backpack + GPS, gas sensor and beacon. The CHARISMA Demo Manual (KP01) will help to understand how to use software with the setup for autonomous exploration.

In this document we present information about a test that we made to test SPOT with the RTK-GNSS and ROS2.

In this document you can find the code repository for the backpack.

Within our research on robotic gas detection, we have focused on making a prototype based on Boston Dynamics SPOT, because it takes a lot of difficulties out of prototyping. For instance, it has its own obstacle avoidance algorithm, good drivers are available for ROS2, and SPOT is meant for outdoor …

The objective of this report is to share the results of the test that we have made to evaluate the localization performance of the Spot robot across three scenarios, each featuring different velocities in both translation and rotation.

In this abstract we describe a computational approach for detecting discursive patterns in social media. Newsrooms of municipalities and public organizations such as the police follow public debate on social media to be aware of and prepare for local and global issues and rumors. The onset of these issues …
